Hybrid automatic repeat request with new data indicator
A base station sends, to a wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first HARQ process identifier, a first NDI comprising a first value, and an indication to postpone a HARQ acknowledgement transmission for a HARQ process identified by the first HARQ process identifier. The base station sends, to the wireless device, a second DCI comprising the first HARQ process identifier and a second NDI comprising a second value. The base station sends, to the wireless device and based on the second DCI, a transport block corresponding to the first HARQ process identifier.
1. A method, comprising:
sending, from a base station to a wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising:
a first hybrid automatic request (HARQ) process identifier;
a first new data indicator (NDI) comprising a first value; and
an indication to postpone a HARQ acknowledgement transmission for a HARQ process identified by the first HARQ process identifier;
sending, by the base station to the wireless device, a second DCI comprising:
the first HARQ process identifier; and
a second NDI comprising a second value; and
sending, by the base station to the wireless device and based on the second DCI, a transport block corresponding to the first HARQ process identifier,
wherein the second NDI is considered as toggled a) based on the indication to postpone the HARQ acknowledgement transmission for the HARQ process identified by the first HARQ process identifier, and b) when the second value is the same as the first value.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second DCI indicates resources for transmission of the transport block corresponding to the first HARQ process.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the wireless device uses the resources indicated by the second DCI for initial reception of the transport block corresponding to the first HARQ process.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, to the wireless device, a second transport block scheduled by the first DCI, wherein the transport block comprises a medium access control control element (MAC CE).
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving, from the wireless device, a HARQ acknowledgement for the transport block, regardless of the first DCI indicating postponing the HARQ acknowledgement transmission, in response to the MAC CE being of a first type MAC CE.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first type MAC CE comprises at least one of:
a SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE; and
a contention resolution identity MAC CE.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first DCI indicates postponing the HARQ acknowledgement transmission based on one or more values of one or more fields of the first DCI.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more fields comprise a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)-to-HARQ feedback timing field indicating a timing between a PDSCH corresponding to the first DCI and a HARQ feedback for the PDSCH.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first DCI indicates postponing the HARQ acknowledgement transmission based on a value of the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing being equal to a first value.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second NDI is further considered as toggled based on a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with the first DCI, a search space associated with the first DCI, a control resource set associated with the first DCI, or a combination thereof.
11. A base station, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to perform operations comprising:
sending, to a wireless device, a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising:
a first hybrid automatic request (HARQ) process identifier;
a first new data indicator (NDI) comprising a first value; and
an indication to postpone a HARQ acknowledgement transmission for a HARQ process identified by the first HARQ process identifier;
sending, to the wireless device, a second DCI comprising:
the first HARQ process identifier; and
a second NDI comprising a second value; and
sending, to the wireless device and based on the second DCI, a transport block corresponding to the first HARQ process identifier,
wherein the second NDI is considered as toggled a) based on the indication to postpone the HARQ acknowledgement transmission for the HARQ process identified by the first HARQ process identifier, and b) when the second value is the same as the first value.
12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the second DCI indicates resources for transmission of the transport block corresponding to the first HARQ process.
13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the wireless device uses the resources indicated by the second DCI for initial reception of the transport block corresponding to the first HARQ process.
14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, to the wireless device, a second transport block scheduled by the first DCI, wherein the transport block comprises a medium access control control element (MAC CE).
15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving, from the wireless device, a HARQ acknowledgement for the transport block, regardless of the first DCI indicating postponing the HARQ acknowledgement transmission, in response to the MAC CE being of a first type MAC CE.
16. The base station of claim 15 , wherein the first type MAC CE comprises at least one of:
a SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE; and
a contention resolution identity MAC CE.
17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the first DCI indicates postponing the HARQ acknowledgement transmission based on one or more values of one or more fields of the first DCI.
18. The base station of claim 17 , wherein the one or more fields comprise a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)-to-HARQ feedback timing field indicating a timing between a PDSCH corresponding to the first DCI and a HARQ feedback for the PDSCH.
19. The base station of claim 18 , wherein the first DCI indicates postponing the HARQ acknowledgement transmission based on a value of the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing being equal to a first value.
20. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the second NDI is further considered as toggled based on a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with the first DCI, a search space associated with the first DCI, a control resource set associated with the first DCI, or a combination thereof.
